As part of its mission to democratize access to consumer credit, expand
economic opportunity and empower millions of Nigerians to improve their
quality of life through responsible borrowing, the Nigerian Consumer
Credit Corporation (CREDICORP), in partnership with the Federal Ministry
of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, today launched the
C.L.I.C.K.D. Programme (Credit for Laptops, Internet, Connectivity and
Knowledge Digital Devices) at the Afreximbank African Trade Centre
(AATC), Abuja, on 21 July 2026.
C.L.I.C.K.D. is a device financing initiative launched in partnership
with the Federal Government’s Three Million Technical Talent (3MTT)
Programme. It provides qualifying Nigerians with structured, affordable
consumer credit for laptops, internet-enabled devices and other digital
tools, removing the upfront cost barrier that has kept many talented
Nigerians from fully participating in the digital economy. Beginning
with locally assembled laptops, C.L.I.C.K.D. is built to expand across
every category of device and digital tool of the workforce, from
internet-enabled devices to connectivity, with local assembly
prioritised at each step.
The inaugural programme focuses on fellows training through the
Learn2Earn platform, many of whom are acquiring in-demand digital skills
without access to the devices needed to complete their training and
transition into employment or entrepreneurship. Delivered in
collaboration with Fidelity Bank as credit administration partner and
NASENI and Imose Technologies as device manufacturers, it will provide
1,000 locally assembled laptops to eligible fellows across Nigeria, with
77 beneficiaries in Abuja receiving their devices at the launch ceremony
as the first phase of a nationwide rollout. Assembling the devices in
Nigeria shows how consumer credit can expand digital inclusion,
strengthen local manufacturing and deepen the country’s technology
ecosystem.
The event was chaired by the Honourable Minister of Communications,
Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, who served as Chief
Launcher of the programme.
“Nigeria’s digital economy can only thrive when our people have
both the skills and the tools to succeed. Through C.L.I.C.K.D., we are
helping qualifying Nigerians participate more fully in the opportunities
created by the 3MTT initiative while strengthening local manufacturing
through the use of locally assembled devices,” said Dr. Bosun Tijani,
Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy.
“C.L.I.C.K.D. transforms digital devices from a barrier into an
opportunity. By embedding affordable consumer credit into a national
talent programme like 3MTT, starting with locally assembled laptops, we
are giving qualifying Nigerians a responsible pathway to the tools they
need to learn, work and earn, while advancing the Federal Government’s
vision for industrial development and job creation on both sides,”
said Engr. Uzoma Nwagba, Managing Director/CEO of CREDICORP.
C.L.I.C.K.D. is CREDICORP’s flagship device financing initiative, open
to working Nigerians nationwide, with the 3MTT programme as launch
partner for this first phase. Interested Nigerians can register at

C.L.I.C.K.D. is built to grow into an open, multi-partner programme.
CREDICORP invites additional Participating Financial Institutions,
device manufacturers and technology vendors to join, and will continue
to work closely with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), training
institutions and strategic partners to scale device financing across the
3MTT network and beyond, unlocking access to digital devices for
millions of Nigerians.
